2.7 Upgrade cant find dashboard options??

I upgraded to the 2.7 today and the page that says DASHBOARD doesnt show anything I had before! Where is my plugin list page and all the other stuff ontop of the dashboard page when I had 2.6? I cant do sh– now, 2.7 stinks! There arent even any links to any of the stuff! I have no left side column. I am very stuck now. I had NO probs with any upgrades until THIS one.
